I know it should be a given but in this world it isn't.I'm just happy they are willing to resolve the issue quickly and without fuss.Even though there configure thingy is bugged/flawed I guess I could have also checked myself to be sure of compatibility.

On a side note I also got a new monitor.. A BENQ GL2450 it took some configuring and will take getting used to but I like it.ofc not tested it with any games.

I'm not convinced it was a lack of power, although I haven't delved very deeply into the 12V rail of the 450W PSU you bought, but it should have been on the edge of sufficient (perhaps operating at 70+%, which isn't really where you want to keep a PSU for the long term).

I don't want to jinx it but I have a sneaking suspicion the problem may persist with a new PSU. I really hope I'm wrong!!!

I have a GL2450 and really like it. The viewing angles aren't amazing, but as a cheap gaming 24" monitor it's pretty sweet

Right..I ran all the tests for a full hour and no problems as of yet.Also played a few games and its all fine.

Rome2 still makes a very odd noise but its literally only Rome2 and it doesn't die anymore.Oddly the pitch of noise changes depending on what menu you are on.

Yeah but its been out ages now and its had like 6 DLC's -_-

It literately sounds like my PC is going to break from playing it.Anyway I could bitch about Rome2 for days but its not a problem with my PC its a CA problem so its off topic.

Hope the new Warhammer total war isn't a piece of unplayable shit like rome.
